Ayame was born in Tokyo, Japan as Ayame Itō. Her mother was a former Olympic athlete and her father was a famous (traditional) martial artist (specifically, he was a famous karateka, or karate practitioner). Starting when she was four months old, Ayame showed a strong inclination towards books and reading. However, when Ayame was three years old, her father began training her in martial arts. Despite Ayame showing no interest in martial arts, her father continued to force her to train. Ayame's mother tried to provide Ayame with books to read but otherwise did nothing to stop Ayame's father---while Ayame's father was never
physically abusive, he would use intimidation and threats of violence to control Ayame's mother. To this day, Ayame harbors deep resentment towards her mother and father, the latter for forcing her into martial arts and the former for failing to do anything to stop it.
After initially resisting learning martial arts, Ayame began to become serious about them as a way to please her father and get his approval. She showed an unusual amount of talent for martial arts, which greatly pleased her father. However, Ayame lacked natural aggressiveness. Her father's attempts to teach her aggression only made Ayame more scared and timid.
When Ayame was seven years old, her father moved to a city in America to start a dojo, taking Ayame and her mother with him. Ayame started school in America during the middle of the fall. Unfortunately, Ayame's timid nature, along with the fact that she was a foreigner and did not know English, quickly made her a target of bullying. Eventually, during a cold spring day, Ayame was cornered in an alleyway by a few of her bullies. Out of fear, Ayame lashed out, giving a brutal beating to her antagonizers. When the news reached Ayame's father, he was furious---not because Ayame had hurt others but because in his mind, it reflected poorly on him and the dojo. After that point, Ayame's father increased her training in an attempt to "straighten Ayame out".
After the incident, Ayame became more aggressive and assertive. For once in her life, she had some semblance of control. From that point on, Ayame would use threats of violence (along with actual violence, if necessary) to control her classmates. While unhappy with her actions at school, Ayame''s father was pleased with Ayame's newfound aggression---he finally had a daughter that could follow in his footsteps and succeed where he had failed.
The day Ayame turned fourteen, her relationship with her father took a turn for the worse. Fed up with being controlled by her father, Ayame decided to stop training with her father. After that, Ayame would spend most of her time outside of the house, only (sometimes) returning home for meals and to sleep. Ayame quickly got mixed up with the wrong crowd. Every weekend for the next two months, Ayame managed to get herself into at least one street fight, if not two or three.
That changed after Ayame had attempted to mug a seventeen-year old girl by the name of Fumie Kimura. While Ayame managed to get a few good hits in, Fumie managed to take Ayame to the ground and submit her (ironically, the move she used was a kimura). The two Japanese-Americans struck up a conversation and Fumie convinced Ayame to join the MMA gym that she trained at. Shortly thereafter, Ayame cut ties with the bad crowd that she had gotten mixed up with. For the next ten months, Ayame trained at the gym. During those ten months, Ayame made astonishing progress. Additionally, she became extremely close with Fumie, with the two developing a sisterly sort of relationship.
Fumie had aspirations to become a professional MMA fighter. Ten months after meeting Ayame, Fumie turned eighteen and thus was finally old enough to fight professionally. Fumie scheduled her first professional MMA fight shortly after her eighteenth birthday. However, a few days before the fight, Fumie revealed to Ayame that she reminded her of her little sister, who along with Fumie's mother had died after the car they were in was struck by a truck. Fearful that Fumie only cared about her because of this, Ayame verbally lashed out at Fumie. For the next few days, Ayame did not show up to the gym out of shame for what she did. Ayame planned to attend Fumie's debut match (a mid-card match) and apologize to her after she won (or lost, but Ayame knew Fumie would not lose).
On the day of the match, Fumie decided to walk instead of taking a car. With her mind focused on the upcoming match, Fumie blindly started walking as soon as the "walk" signal turned on. Unfortunately, a drunk truck driver blew a red light and struck Fumie, instantly killing her. At the venue, Ayame waited in the audience for Fumie to arrive. Fumie's entrance music started to play but no one walked out (the event had some logistical issues, leading to them not realizing that Fumie was absent). Ayame waited for hours for Fumie to arrive, even after the event had ended.
The next day, Ayame showed up to the gym and was informed of Fumie's death. Ayame was devastated. She began to blame herself for Fumie's death, thinking that had she been walking with Fumie, she could have saved her (although had Ayame been with Fumie, they both would have been killed by the truck). She regretted not getting a chance to apologize to Fumie and began to believe that she made Fumie hate her. That could not be further from the truth, however. While the fact that Ayame reminded Fumie of her sister was part of the reason why Fumie reached out to Ayame in the first place, Fumie treasured Ayame as her own person.
Fumie Kimura had a very similar background to Ayame. Her father was a famous mixed martial artist named Risuke Kimura and her mother was a marine biologist named Yasuho Takenaka (now Yasuho Kimura). Like Ayame, Fumie was born in Tokyo, Japan. When Fumie was six years old, she and her parents moved to America so that Fumie's father could start an MMA gym.
Growing up, Fumie spent a lot of time at her father's gym (which was called "Kimura MMA"). This gym was the same one that Ayame later became a member of. Despite Fumie spending a lot of time at the gym, she also had other hobbies as well such as violin and biking.
Additionally, Fumie had a younger sister named Ayako. Ayako, while initially not interested in martial arts, saw how her older sister Fumie would do martial arts. Wanting to be like her older sister, Ayako took up martial arts and eventually learned to love them.
Unlike Ayame's parents, Fumie's parents had a good relationship. Furthermore, Fumie's father did not force her to learn martial arts---instead, Fumie chose that path herself. Her parents were kind people and they instilled that same kindness in Fumie and Ayako.
When Fumie was thirteen years old, her mother and younger sister were killed in a car accident. A drunk truck driver crashed his semi-truck into their car, killing them instantly. Fumie and her father were off training and thus were not with them. While devastating, it caused both Fumie and her father to cherish life, both their own lives and that of others. They both independently vowed to make the world a better place so that they could die knowing that they made a difference.
When Fumie and her father saw Ayame, they were reminded of Ayako. They also saw how Ayame was battling with her demons and they wished to help Ayame. Within the short time that they knew Ayame, they came to view her like family.
Soon after the death of Fumie, Ayame found out that her father and Fumie's father had actually met before. The two of them had fought a couple of times, with the fights being advertised as a competition between traditional martial arts and modern mixed martial arts. Despite putting up good fights and even putting Fumie's father in some of tight spots, Ayame's father lost both matches, ironically by submission via kimuras.
Ayame's father never got over those losses. Knowing that a third match was out of the question, given their ages and lack of hype for a third fight, Ayame's father knew he would not get a third shot. Thus, he tried to train his daughter to be a martial artist, hoping that she would succeed where he failed. Ayame's father later found out that Fumie's father also had a daughter who was into martial arts, further galvanizing him in his goal of making Ayame a formidable fighter. Had things gone differently, Ayame may have been rivals with Fumie.
Upon finding out about this, Ayame began to ponder. She recalled how similar her and Fumie's backgrounds were. She looked at how Fumie's father had treated his daughter, versus how her own father had treated her. She looked at how her own father had been beaten by Fumie's father twice. She looked at Fumie and how kind and skilled she was, and then looked at herself, a child who lashed out at the world. In spite of this, Ayame did not feel jealousy towards Fumie or her situation---instead, she felt sadness. In her mind, she was Fumie but broken. And yet, she was the one still alive.
"I should have been the one to die."
After that event, Ayame left the gym she had been training at and began to hop from gym-to-gym (the city that she lived in had
excellent public transportation). Ayame would do various odd-jobs to pay for gym memberships and eventually started working as a barista at her local
Buckstars Coffee House when she was sixteen. Over the next two years, Ayame would train at a variety of gyms and dojos, being exposed to a variety of styles (boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, Brazillian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, sambo, Taekwondo, et cetera). She even got to briefly train at a pro-wrestling gym, learning some aerial moves and showmanship. Notably, however, Ayame avoided karate, which she had trained in for the first fourteen years of her life. Ayame would not keep it a secret from her father that she was training martial arts that were not karate, much to her father's chagrin.
Eventually, Ayame returned to her old gym. This time, Ayame actively avoided getting close to anyone at the gym. While the others acknowledged her as a good sparring partner (who occasionally went a little too hard), none of them considered her a "friend". Ayame was determined not to get close to anyone, only to have the world rip the person away from her. Additionally, while Ayame had an opportunity to be like "an older sister" to one of the younger members of the gym, she did not---Ayame did not want to become a sister-figure to another only to end up dying and leaving her "younger sister" behind. Despite not forming any close relationships with the others at the gym (or anyone for that matter), Ayame became a formidable mixed martial artist. By the time Ayame was nearly eighteen, her skills rivaled those of Fumie. Despite being capable of going pro, Ayame decided not to pursue a professional MMA career. Despite knowing that the fear was not logical, Ayame was afraid that she would end up dying like Fumie if she debuted as a professional mixed martial artist. Furthermore, Ayame wanted nothing to do with competitive MMA as it would remind her too much of Fumie.
When Ayame turned eighteen, her father kicked her out of the house. After that, the first thing that Ayame did was change her name to Ayame Aoi (Aoi being her mother's maiden name). The second thing that Ayame did was get an apartment. Ayame ended up in a run-down apartment building in a bad part of town. Soon, she was spotted by a shady recruiter for a local underground sexfighting ring. The recruiter figured that he could take advantage of a young, attractive woman who is strapped for cash. Without specifying details, the recruiter offered Ayame $350 to participate in a "match" and an additional $350 should Ayame win. Despite knowing that the man was sketchy, Ayame accepted because she was short on cash and rent was due soon. Ayame was to travel to an abandoned warehouse that Friday night and show up at 10pm.
When Ayame arrived, she was escorted through the backdoor. Upon entering the warehouse, she noticed a crudely made "ring"---in fact, the "ring" was more akin to a roped-off area of floor adorned with mats. As Ayame made her way towards the ring, the announcer specified the match stipulations: the match was to be a hentai humiliation match with
accepted submissions only. Ayame frowned, not knowing what those words meant. Then, Ayame spotted her opponent. Inside the ring was a girl with short, white hair and purple eyes, dressed in standard street clothes. Then, Ayame looked around the outskirts of the "ring". There were sex toys. And lots of them.
"And now for our combatants! Claire---local hentai champion with seventeen wins and zero losses---will face off against Ayame---tonight's sacrifice!" yelled the announcer.
"What the hell?" thought Ayame.
"What kind of idiot matchmaker would put a new fighter with a blank record against a champion? Wait, sacrifice? What the hell does that mean?"
As soon as Ayame stepped inside the "ring", the announcer yelled
"AND START!" Immediately, Claire charged forward with a devilish grin on her face. Instinctively, Ayame pivoted clockwise on her lead foot as she threw a left hook. The left hook cut through the air and smashed into Claire's jaw, stunning Claire. Claire's legs turned to jelly as she lost her footing. Ayame followed her left hook with a right cross. However, Claire had already began to fall so the cross sailed above Claire's head. As Claire was falling down, she desperately grabbed onto Ayame's shirt, ripping it and exposing Ayame's black bra.
Ayame turned red as the crowd started to holler. The crowd began to shout lewd instructions at the combatants, most of them demanding that they remove more of the other's clothing. Meanwhile, Claire was still groggy from Ayame's left hook. Ayame stood in shock. She had been mislead---what she thought would be an underground brawl turned out to be an underground sexfight. Ayame felt the reins of destiny slip from her grasp. Once again, she was not in control---upon this realization, the cracks in her psyche grew into fissures.
Then, Ayame pounced. Ayame proceeded to one-sidedly strip Claire completely naked, ripping off her opponent's clothes rather than simply removing them. By the end of it, Ayame was mounted on Claire with Claire in tears underneath her.
The crowd went insane, cheering Ayame on and demanding that she go further. Ayame was completely intoxicated by the cheers as her opponent lied underneath her, naked and sobbing. Ayame basked in the warm glow of the floodlights illuminating the "ring". For once, she was in control. For once, she could decide fate, even if it was not her own. For once, the world would sit by as she grabbed the reins of fate.
What followed next was a cavalcade of humiliation. Forced exposure. Forced orgasms. Self-degradation. All of these things, in addition to the various sex toys (vibrators, dildos, et cetera), were brought to bear on the hapless Claire. Claire submitted many times that night but Ayame mercilessly rejected those submissions. The mats were left covered in a mixture of Claire's cum and tears and Ayame forced Claire to lick her own cum off the mat.
Eventually, Ayame decided to finish her opponent in a spectacular fashion. Ayame tied Claire's arms and legs together, leaving her breasts and drooling wet pussy exposed. Then, Ayame picked up two vibrating dildos and headed outside, dragging Claire behind her. Ayame dragged Claire to the base of the flagpole located outside of the warehouse. As this was happening, the stage crew frantically dragged the floodlights outside to illuminate the salacious scene.
Ayame tied Claire upside-down to the rope connected to the flagpole. With a cruel smirk, Ayame then proceeded to roughly shove the two vibrating dildos into Claire, one in her tight pussy and the other in her ass, eliciting a broken whimper from Claire. Ayame then turned the dildos on and hoisted Claire up to the top of the flagpole as the floodlights illuminated Claire's obscene ascent. The audience made sure to take a lot of pictures of Claire's naked, nubile body.
Once Claire was secured at the top of the flagpole, Ayame left to go home---by her reckoning, it was about 11pm: there was still enough time to catch the train home. As Ayame exited, the crowd went wild. Some sticky-handed audience members tried to cop a feel but Ayame managed to catch them before they touched her. Some well-placed strikes from Ayame got them to back off.
Ayame won by "technical humiliation" as Claire was too broken to submit.
For two hours, Claire hung on top of the flagpole, naked and exposed. After being subjected to countless unwanted orgasms, Claire was a mess. Her womanly fluids were smeared over her taut belly and luscious tits. Her face was covered in a shameful mixture of cum and tears, her cum glistening in the harsh light of the floodlights. Suddenly, the rope that had was holding Claire suspended began to slip. Claire was still conscious enough to notice this but was not coherent enough to realize what was about to happen. The knot began to unravel until finally, it failed, sending Claire tumbling to the ground.
CRASH! SNAP!
Claire hit the ground hard. Fortunately for Claire, she did not die---instead, she suffered a broken arm, some broken ribs, and a bad concussion. However, by the time she fell, everyone had already vacated the premises (the underground sexfighting circuit was not known for its compassion). Dazed and confused, Claire stumbled back into the city. Eventually, a police officer noticed the woman, naked and covered in fluids with two dildos inside of her. Claire promptly received medical attention.
Later, Claire was questioned about the incident. Due to personal reasons, she refused to rat out the underground promotion. Furthermore, she could not remember who her opponent was or what she looked like, due to the concussion she suffered. Despite Claire's lack of cooperation, the police investigation still managed to uncover that Ayame was responsible for Claire's injuries. However, the police were unable to dig up much on the underground sexfighting promotion (the recruiter who recruited Ayame was caught but was mysteriously killed in jail before he could be interviewed).
As for Claire, after about three months, Claire was mostly healed. She moved cities and joined another underground sexfighting ring. There, she suffered twenty-two straight losses over the next two years. Claire's matches almost always ended up being one-sided losses for her. Eventually, Claire gave up sexfighting and moved to a different city. She started a new life working at a local Buckstars Coffee Shop.
Unfortunately for Ayame, Claire had suffered non-fatal injuries due to falling from the top of the flagpole. The police managed to track Ayame down. Ayame was convicted of battery and sexual assault, and was sentenced to three years in prison. While in prison, Ayame would get into many fights---both sexual and non-sexual. While Ayame would win the majority of her fights, she suffered a few humiliating losses among the way. However, Ayame avenged every one of those losses (often in brutal and/or humiliating fashion). Eventually, Ayame became the "queen" of the prison. She was known as someone who, while not invincible, would always crawl back from the depths, no matter how badly she was beaten down.
Eventually, after three years in prison, Ayame was released. Ayame then withdrew the money she had in her bank account. Along with the money she withdrew and the meager amount of money that she saved up from her prison job (she worked as a chef), Ayame headed to a different city (she had to hitchhike
a lot). She wanted to get away from the city that she grew up in. However, with very little money and being a convicted felon and sex offender, Ayame had very little prospects. She ended up homeless and on the streets for about two weeks.
While Ayame was on the streets, one night she came across an abandoned Siamese kitten. Out of pity, Ayame gave the kitten some food. She had thought that would be the end of it but the kitten refused to leave, even after three nights of trying to get it to go away. Eventually, Ayame gave up and decided to take the kitten to the local animal shelter.
On the way to the animal shelter, Ayame came across someone being mugged. Ayame managed to drive the mugger off. However, when Ayame got a closer look at the victim, she noticed that it was Claire! The two struck up a brief conversation and Ayame realized that Claire ostensibly had no recollection of their previous fight (in actuality, Claire was being truthful---she did not remember the fight). Claire then insisted that Ayame come stay with her. Despite having suspicions that Claire might stab her in her sleep, Ayame was desperate for a decent meal and shelter. Thus, Ayame and the kitten began living with Claire.
Moreover, since Ayame figured that she might end up keeping the kitten, Ayame decided to give the kitten a name. She struggled with coming up with a name but eventually settled on Niko, a name inspired by the Japanese word for cat, neko.
Through a fortuitous chance occurrence, Ayame managed to find both an apartment and two roommates---one of them being a Siamese kitten that she found while on the street and the other one being Claire, Ayame's first sexfight opponent. For the next three days, Ayame frantically searched for a job. One night, while Ayame and Claire were watching TV, Ayame's kitten pawed at the TV remote, changing the channel. The channel was changed to a news channel which was, at that moment, doing a story on LAW. More specifically, a debate was raging on about whether or not the so-called
hentai matches were ethical. Since it was more interesting than the cooking show they had been watching, Ayame and Claire continued watching. Suddenly, a statement caught Ayame's attention.
"Some of the people on the LAW roster are literal criminals," said the commentator.
"They show no regard as to who they sign, as long as they thing it will make money."
The debate went on, but no one bothered to argue that there were not at least a few criminals on the roster. That piqued Ayame's attention. She could make money dominating and humiliating people and to top it off, the LAW arenas were located in Japan. Ayame was fluent in Japanese so moving to Japan would not be as huge of a deal for her.
"I'm going to join LAW," said Ayame.
Immediately, Claire strongly objected---being a former sexfighter, Claire knew how brutal it could be. To top it all off, she still blushes at some of the images of herself that are floating around on the internet. Claire revealed this to Ayame but Ayame revealed that she also had sexfighting experience---albeit, most of it was in prison without a public audience. As they were talking, Ayame let a few things slip. Suddenly, Claire realized that Ayame was the one who dealt her that humiliating loss. While Claire did not remember what her opponent looked like, based on the information that Ayame revealed, she knew that Ayame was her opponent that terrible night.
After that, Claire steered clear of Ayame, not out of resentment but out of mild fear (the fear faded away really quickly). Claire did not hold any ill-feelings towards Ayame, however. While Ayame was not very talkative and quite aloof, she managed to piece together that Ayame was not a bad person
per se but instead carried a lot of emotional baggage (Claire was actually quite smart).
Claire's parents were both renowned doctors (they were unmarried). Both of them were obsessed with their careers. Thus, as soon as Claire was born, she was given up for adoption. Through some very unfortunate circumstances, Claire ended up as a sexfighter.
After Claire and Ayame finished their conversation, Ayame immediately called up LAW on the apartment's landline. After remarking that Ayame "sounded hot", the telephone operator got Ayame in touch with a manager. The two talked for a while and then the manager asked Ayame for photo and video proof of her appearance. As Ayame did not have a cellphone, she sheepishly asked Claire to use hers. While Claire reiterated her suggestion not to join LAW, she nonetheless let Ayame use her cellphone.
Over the next few days, Ayame filled out the paperwork needed to join LAW. After only a week of staying with Claire, Ayame headed off to Japan to join LAW. Claire drove Ayame to the airport and saw her off. Ayame, while thankful to Claire, did not know how to express her feelings---thankfully, Claire could read Ayame and knew how she felt.
About half a day later, Ayame arrived in Japan. With only a few possessions, two-thousand dollars in cash, and her Siamese kitten, Ayame left the airport and arrived at her new apartment, funded by LAW. The first chance she had, Ayame flopped onto the bed and fell asleep, eager to start her new life.
